those ephemeral moments


i was driving home today reflecting on the days events. one thought led to another, and a song or melody triggered a time in my life when i was young(er) and carefree. thinking about that led me to all the subsequent events in my life, from high school times to my early twenties, to my eye opening and heartbreaking experiences in my thirties, and then up to the moment i was driving home. all of it seemed amazing and life changing in that moment. it reminded me of those flashes people get when they are near death. a bit morbid, i know, but there was not an ounce of fear or regret. rather, i felt a surge of satisfaction because i realize what a full life i have lived, and its not even half over.

basically, i was amazed at my own journey.

ive had moments like these before, but none so filled with joy and clarity. i wrote about it because i want it to be a reminder to record more moments like these. they tend to escape me before i can sit down and thoughtfully record it. hopefully, i ll be able to do this more often.
